First off, the smell is *strong*—in the best way. That crisp, medicinal punch tells me it’s the real deal. I dabbed a drop (diluted in jojoba oil!) on a stubborn blemish, and within two days? Gone. No redness, just happy skin.

My favorite hack? A DIY bathroom spray: 10 drops of this + white vinegar + water. Bye-bye mildew smell after showers. Bonus: I swear my sinuses clear up when I diffuse it during cold season—3 drops in my humidifier feels like a shield against germs.

The bottle’s huge for the price, and the packaging felt luxe (hello, sturdy box with foam!). As someone who’s wasted money on fake ‘tea tree’ oils before, the GC-MS reports on their site sealed the deal. Trust > MLM drama.
